Dan+Logger+Notes

"Good morning, Writing Fellows!", Jeff greeted, "Today, I'd like to share an interview, It worked when Kevin Costner did it, So, be prepared, stand tall, or find your back against the wall, For, if needed, I can be physical, too!"

Next, Sam read her logger notes from Wednesday, With a tool pulled form her teaching bag; This race car wife and race announcer, Definitely got the checkered flag!

We proceeded with the writing prompt from Marilyn, The sharing involved a large part of the morning; And with it, too, perhaps should be, Read on with caution there's a PG-13 warning!

The topic was humor in school situations, wow! Who would have guessed what we would find; As story after story was soon flying, From each quickly-writing, experienced teacher's mind!

Becky's use of humor in the classroom was perfect, Compared to others, perhaps, a bit more formal, As from there the stories began to prove, Yes, SCKWP teachers are really quite normal.

Sandy talked of misplaced apostrophe's, And the danger of a mispelled wurd; From there, the danger level went up a notch, With a stomach hurled at a student acting like a turd!

Sam shared a story of a memorable trip, Her destination... totally unplanned; Like Nancy's fall from her trusted stool; On the floor inn front of students both did land.

Shirleen provided a few more stories, And the importance of sharing a good laugh; Along with a word of caution, Be warned if you have Marilyn on your staff!

Kendra added stories of Valentine's gifts, Her students, without a doubt, were risky; And Dan, of long-time school traditions, Carried out by faculty quite frisky!

Marilyn cautioned of simultaneous talking/writing, As between our neurons words can get stuck; 'Twas a memorable "teaching moment", When on the board she did write....

(Now, Marilyn might have, but you really didn't think I would write it, did you?!) All I can say, is she taught history that day, For unlawful carnal knowledge became the "wing it" history lesson!

Meg finished with a story 'bout Charlie, With his classroom tendency to lip synch; "Tis not very nice to mimic Mrs. Rice, Darn Charlie nearly pushed her to the brink!

Sam's teacher demo then took center stage, Her modeling of classroom teaching superb! I found the whole experience a little daunting, though, I've not done mine and now my mind it does disturb.

Becky's reading from the author's chair, Shared thoughtful quotes and a book called, Parts; Keep in mind the perspective of the learner, For it is there all learning really starts.

After lunch, Rachael's article summary on reading, Created discussion that turned far reaching; And from the emotion in her comments, Linley's obviously very passionate about her teaching.

His vast experience and expertise was evident, As the blogmeister then assumed command. Thank you, Jeff, for walking us step-by-step, Safely, through cyberwriting land.

The rest of the day was spent on individual work, And some collaboration with new friends; I hope you've enjoyed, maybe even laughed a bit, As to the wiki (remember, it doesn't mean "quickie"!) From this poetic sickie, these logger notes he now sends.
